  • The Tightrope Walk of the Dutch Nobility
    BETWEEN CONFORMING AND CONSERVING: THE TIGHTROPE WALK OF THE DUTCH NOBILITY Nina IJdens A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Science July 2017 Department of Sociology University of Amsterdam Supervisor: Dr. Kobe de Keere Second reader: Dr. Alex van Venrooij BETWEEN CONFORMING AND CONSERVING 1 Abstract Research has shown that the Dutch nobility has adapted to modernisation processes and continues to disproportionately occupy elite positions. This thesis builds on these findings by raising the question: (1) How does the Dutch nobility aim to maintain its high status position? Secondly, this thesis builds on a growing concern within studies of social stratification on how elite positions are legitimated in a highly unequal context. It investigates the nobility’s legitimation by raising the further questions (2a) How does the nobility legitimate itself through its organisations?; and (2b) How do members of the nobility justify their manifestation as a separate social group? The dataset consists of two sources: fourteen nobility organisations’ websites and fifty-two newspaper articles from 1990 until today, that contain interviews with members of the nobility. This research conducts a qualitative content analysis of these sources, looking for discursive hints of position maintenance, organisational legitimation, and justification. It shows that nobles maintain exclusive social networks that organise interesting networking opportunities; that the nobility copied modern organisational structures through which it could manifest itself as a social group; and that nobles justify their networks by appealing to a collective identity with a right to self-realisation. Moreover, the interviewees constantly both assert and downplay differences between themselves and the general public.

  • Synergistic Effects of Boron Nitride (BN) Nanosheets and Silver (Ag) Nanoparticles on Thermal Conductivity and Electrical Properties of Epoxy Nanocomposites

Received: 13 January 2020; Accepted: 8 February 2020; Published: 12 February 2020 Abstract: Polymer composites, with both high thermal conductivity and high electrical insulation strength, are desirable for power equipment and electronic devices, to sustain increasingly high power density and heat flux. However, conventional methods to synthesize polymer composites with high thermal conductivity often degrade their insulation strength, or cause a significant increase in dielectric properties. In this work, we demonstrate epoxy nanocomposites embedded with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), and modified boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs), which have high thermal conductivity, high insulation strength, low permittivity, and low dielectric loss. Compared with neat epoxy, the composite with 25 vol% of binary nanofillers has a significant enhancement (~10x) in thermal conductivity, which is twice of that filled with BNNSs only (~5x), owing to the continuous heat transfer path among BNNSs enabled by AgNPs.

  • 70Kya Toba Hephaestos a Young Boy of African Tribes Injures His Leg in A
    70kya Toba Hephaestos a young boy of African Tribes injures his leg in a playful hunting accident and spends time recuperating sitting in an old plume tree where he learns how to tame fire when lightning strikes one day. He is proclaimed first King of man and renamed Vulcan, every modern royal lineage originates from this event as do the concept divine right of kings which is the privilege of godly communication. As the young king grew older he became a tyrant and subjected the tribes to slavery under the power of the flame, a new chld, Prometheus, rose to the challenge of liberating his people by becoming Vulcans lover and stealing the sacred flame from his throne room. Prometheus was captured and subjected to harsh punishment, but was saved by the eruption of Toba on the other side of the world, Vulcan died in the ensuing chaos and when his head was cracked open a thick white larvae crawls out, pupates and transforms into a beautiful butterfly and flies away. During his punishment and near death expeience Prometheus learns how to communicate with nature and the first animal cult is established, as Toba ravages their homeland the thousand remaining tribesmen are forced to migrate of out Africa. 60-10kya Atlantis He was the father of Atlantis, a global network of Cro-Magnons and protocivilization upon which every ancient and modern society were founded, they communicated with smokesignals and starnavigation, the capital, Am-Tuat, was located in then existing Beringia mammoth trail connecting EurAsia with the Americas. Ra was the first King of Atlantis whom according to theosophy battled evil sorcerers who had discovered telepathy by artificial cranial deformation, this war was enshrined in the egyptian book of the dead and Ras journey into the underworld.

  • Access to Land and Politics of Scale
    1 Access to Land and Politics of Scale: Potential Implications for Property Rights and Free Markets, for Land Ownership and Management, and for Agricultural Policy and the Rural Economy in Europe February 2020 Since 1989, a period of change unprecedented in eastern Europe since 1945 has combined with globalisation (to which the Communist bloc had in large measure been the major obstacle) and a major shift in the economies of scale in farming. Not only has this proved challenging to manage, but it has often acted as a catalyst for latent insecurities in the countryside. At the same time, restitution and privatisation policies, themselves often implemented only on a restricted scale, have left large areas of land under state control or management, which have then become the subject of policies and decisions whose even-handedness and transparency is frequently called into question. In reaction, a public debate, often conducted in emotive terms, has begun on a politics of scale, typically using ill-defined umbrella phrases such as ‘land grabbing’, which calls into question both the shape of future Agricultural Policy and the functioning of markets (and particularly the European Union Internal Market). This debate, which is loudest in the new Member States, who undertook to privatise state assets and open markets over varying transition periods in their Treaties of Accession to the European Union, has nevertheless sought to develop arguments based on discrete situations in western Europe and, in some cases (notably France), intervention policies based on the introduction of pre-emption rights. It is currently possible to discern two trends, the emergence in some new Member States of state reserves of agricultural land which then become the subject of political demands and favours, and a politics of micro-agriculture that is pursued in preference to diversification of the rural economy and can be used in some countries to shield the state reserve.

  • The Fons Honorum, Prerogatives and Privileges of the Portuguese House of Bragança (1)
    The Fons Honorum, Prerogatives and Privileges of the Portuguese House of Bragança (1) By Carlos Evaristo Chancellor for Foreign Affairs, Vice-Chancellor OSMA Secretary General RISMA, Founder of the Centre for the Study of the Portuguese Dynastic Royal Orders I - The Origin of the Ducal, Royal and Imperial Dynastic House of Bragança The Royal and Ducal House of Bragança, officially titled the “Most Serene House of Bragança”, is a Portuguese Noble family that has had a great influence in Europe and in the World right up until the twentieth century. It was the Dynasty and Ruling Royal Family of the Kingdom of Portugal and of the overseas Empire for almost three centuries having been an Absolute Monarchy from 1640 until 1820, and then, a Constitutional Monarchy from 1834 until the Proclamation of the Republic in 1910. The Head of the House of Bragança was also the Sovereign of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil, Africa, India and the Algarves ("D'aquém e D'além Mar" meaning from here and beyond the sea) between 1815 and 1822 when the Royal Family went to Brazil to avoid a military conflict with Napoleon. Upon the return of the Royal Family to Portugal however, there occurred the Proclamation of the Independence of the Empire of Brazil, ("Grito de Ipiranga" or Cry of Ipiranga) in 1822 by Prince Regent which gave origin to the Brazilian Imperial Royal Dynastic branch of the Bragança Family founded by Emperor D. Pedro I. It ruled the Empire of Brazil until the Proclamation of the United States of Brazil in 1889.
